Pilot Killed In Gallatin Helicopter Crash Identified
By Jenny White. CREATED Sep 28, 2014 - UPDATED: Sep 28, 2014

GALLATIN, Tenn. – The pilot killed in a helicopter crash in Sumner County Sunday has been identified.

The Sumner County Sheriff confirms 61-year-old James E. Lee of Gallatin died when his Helicycle went down. An Helicycle is a small, single seat ultralight helicopter.

The sheriff said Lee had just flown out to a friend's house to do a fly-by, say hello and then fly back into Gallatin. He said Lee flew around Gallatin often.

The crash was reported around 3:20 p.m. on Douglas Lane at Flynn Road.

Sumner County 911 received a call that a small helicopter had gone down in a resident’s front yard and burst into flames.

Neighbors knew something was wrong when they heard sirens.

"I start hearing them coming closer and I thought someone's house is on fire or my neighbor has had a heart attack, or something's going on," said Marilyn Hahn.

Other neighbors rushed to help with a fire extinguisher but it was too late.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.

You should have heard the exuberance James shared with me just the other day on the phone. He was having the time of his life. Prayers to the family and friends of this great man.

It is a shame some folks pass this way... however he did pass doing what he wanted to do... good for him.

Did not know the guy, however his enthusiasm for aviation was evident online.

He will be missed.
